Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery

Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery (GRIDD) is a drug discovery research centre. We search for and develop new drug- and cell-based therapies in areas such as:

* Cancer

* Infectious diseases

* Neurological diseases

* Global health

Our research is supported by the unique Nature Bank resource, a storehouse of chemical diversity from the natural world. Nature Bank is an integrated drug discove

ry platform encompassing a library of over 50,000 optimised natural product fractions derived from a diverse collection of over 45,000 samples of plants and marine invertebrates. GRIDD is also home to Compounds Australia, an automated library of over 400,000 pure compounds from Australian chemists, which can be accessed by biologists for drug discovery and chemical biology collaborative research.
